TOKYO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 23, 2016 —
Toshiba
Corporation’s (TOKYO:6502) Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions
Company today announced the launch of N-channel MOSFETs in small
packages for load switches in LED driver applications, including
automotive dashboard meters and headlights and LED TV backlights, that
are in the industry’s leading-class[1] for low on-resistance.
Shipments of the new products start from today.

Along with the increased use of power saving LEDs, demand for N-channel
MOSFETs, used as switches for LED drivers has also increased. To meet
demand, Toshiba has added two small-package MOSFETS with the industry’s
leading-class low on-resistance to its line-up, the 60V “SSM3K341R” and
the 100V “SSM3K361R”. The new products reduce heat dissipation resulting
from turn-on loss by approximately 65% against Toshiba previous products[2].
Also, the MOSFETs use an SOT-23F small-size flat lead type package,
which maintains the same level of heat dissipation while reducing the
footprint by approximately 64% compared to a conventional SOT-89
package. Both products are AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive
applications.
